NASA planes have flown over 20,000 square miles of the Arctic in a bid to analyse methane patches in the north pole. These patches release methane into the atmosphere, which acts as a greenhouse gas and helps to exacerbate climate change. NASA used its Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) which are planes equipped with the Airborne Visible Infrared Imaging Spectrometer—Next Generation (AVIRIS—NG) to search for methane hotspots. To the space agency’s shock, up to two million of these hotspots were detected. Clayton Elder of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said: “We consider hotspots to be areas showing an excess of 3,000 parts per million of methane between the airborne sensor and the ground.“And we detected 2 million of these hotspots over the land that we covered.”The methane hotspots and the Arctic are now in a vicious cycle thanks to climate change. The methane is stored in the permafrost, which is slowly melting thanks to the warming climate. Permafrost is a permanently frozen layer beneath the surface, which affects 18 million square kilometres in the upper reaches of the northern hemisphere. The layer of ice contains rocks, soil, sand and stores the remains of plants and microbes which have been stored in the permafrost fo...
